This leaves Abu Qir Fertilizers and Alexandria Containers and Cargo Handling Company (ALCN) remaining in the first wave. Tawfik declined to disclose which of the two companies is up first, saying to do so could adversely impact the transactions. Both ALCN and Abu Qir are listed on the EGX; the upcoming transactions would accordingly be stake sales through accelerated book builds.<\/p>\n<p><b>One more offering could land before Eid, but none during the summer:<\/b> Abu Qir or ACCH could go to market before the Eid El Fitr break, but the sale program will definitely be on hold during the summer, when liquidity and trading volumes are typically low, the minister tells us. The state will be targeting foreign investors with the sales, Tawfik added, as it did with the transaction in March on Eastern Tobacco.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background:<\/b> The government kicked off the first wave of the program <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/03\/03\/in-surprise-move-govt-kickstarts-ipo-program-with-a-successful-eastern-tobacco-secondary-offering\/\">last month<\/a> with Eastern Tobacco\u2019s secondary offering of a 4.5% stake. Both Alex Containers and Abu Qir will be secondary offerings. Alexandria Mineral Oils Company (AMOC) had also been slated to go ahead in the first wave, but was sidelined <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/02\/11\/government-expects-to-announce-list-of-ipo-companies-within-two-weeks\/\">earlier this year<\/a> after an unexpected fall in profits. The first phase of the program was delayed last year as the emerging markets sell-off hit the EGX. The ambitious program had an initial line up of 23 companies slated either for IPO or for a secondary offering.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/abu-kir-fertilizers\/\">Abu Kir Fertilizers<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/alexandria-containers-cargo-handling-company\/\">Alexandria Containers &amp;

Enter Dr Ali Hadi (<a href=\"http:\/\/www1.aucegypt.edu\/faculty\/hadi\/\">bio<\/a>), chair of the Department of Mathematics and Actuarial Science at the American University in Cairo (AUC) and the founder of <b>Egypt\u2019s first undergraduate major in data science, launching this fall<\/b>. Edited excerpts from our conversation with Hadi about the program and understand the importance of data science in Egypt:<\/p>\n<p><b>The program was launched this year because data scientists are in great demand and in scarce supply<\/b>. This is partly because there are no programs currently in Egypt to produce data scientists. Even abroad, there are very few data science programs and the majority of them are graduate programs. This is where our program has added value: It\u2019s one of very few four-year undergraduate degrees in data science. The program will be small \u2014 15 students in the first year and 25 after that \u2014 because we want to test the market and make sure our graduates can find jobs. We also need to fill some faculty vacancies. And we keep class sizes small to ensure quality of education. I established the actuarial science program in 2004 and I know all the people who went through it by name. I expect there will be high demand, but if we see otherwise, we\u2019ll adjust. We\u2019ll plan for the worst and hope for the best.<\/p>\n<p><b>In a nutshell,<\/b> <b>data science is the science of generalizable knowledge extraction from data for the purpose of informed decision-making.<\/b> The availability of data by itself is not useful, you need to know how to extract knowledge from it. Insurance is a good example. You have a ton of insurance claims that could be fraud or medical malpractice. But this is raw data, and you can\u2019t extract knowledge from it to make informative decisions. A data scientist is the link between the data and the decision makers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Because data science requires domain knowledge, the data scientist usually works with an expert in a particular field<\/b>. If we\u2019re talking about medicine, they\u2019ll work with doctors, if we\u2019re talking about a social problem, they\u2019ll work with sociologists. The domain expert will take the results provided by the data scientist and make decisions from there. Sometimes the decision-maker is an actuary, who makes decisions based on actuarial models whose parameters were drawn up from the data by the data scientist.<\/p>\n<p><b>The role of the data scientist is increasingly important because we have more data available than ever before.<\/b> 20 or 25 years ago, the number of observations in an experiment was 500 or 1000. But now it\u2019s mns of observations \u2014 an amount of information that goes beyond classical statistics. A scatterplot with a mn points takes time to generate and it appears as a blot of ink. There\u2019s no pattern or structure. And this is the challenge: To extract knowledge from that black graph at the speed with which we need to make decisions.<\/p>\n<p><b>Companies see shortage in quantitative reasoning: <\/b>Part of the demand is that Egypt lacks in quantitative literacy \u2014 the ability to draw correct conclusion \u2014 and lots of Egyptian companies are hungry for this knowledge, especially banks, IT companies, and even some government agencies.<\/p>\n<p><b>Despite the demand, you can count the sectors in Egypt using data science on both hands. <\/b>The Health Ministry is using data science to determine health insurance policies, etc. But beyond that, even if industry wanted data scientists, they won\u2019t find one. Financial analysts or risk managers are doing the work but they\u2019re not properly trained in data science. The difficulty is that data science is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, drawing from mathematics, probability, statistics, and computer science.<\/p>\n<p><b>All industries and segments would have their own unique way of applying data science. Let\u2019s take insurance companies.<\/b> The data scientist works with an insurance expert and an actuarial scientist to make sure the insurance company has enough reserves for unexpected claims, to monitor fraudulent policies, and to price the policy correctly.<\/p>\n<p><b>As for the banking sector<\/b>, if a bank wants to market a new credit card, the data scientist will segment the market and the industry expert will decide to mail to X not Y. This will save money and increase the response rate.<\/p>\n<p><b>In government,<\/b> the Finance Ministry uses data scientists to estimate taxes, which is important because the record here in Egypt for determining the right amount of tax is not great. Another example is estimating the value of the EGP relative to foreign currencies for the budget, which is partly in EGP and partly in foreign currency.<\/p>\n<p><b>If I could revolutionize an industry with data science, it would be insurance <\/b>because insurance companies are able to use very little of the huge amount of data available to them. They have tons and tons of data but few people know it exists and fewer people can use it. They have the data but they don\u2019t have the expertise to extract knowledge from it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Data science has been well established as a field for some time but Egypt has been late to the game. <\/b>Egypt is late to a lot of things, but better late than never. Someone has to take the initiative. Two years ago, I saw the need for data scientists so I decided to establish this program. I did the same for the actuarial science program back in 2000. I hope it will thrive like the actuarial science program, which is one of the top programs at AUC now in terms of quality of students.<\/p>\n<p><b>In Egypt, there are also difficulties relating to access and quality of data.<\/b> Branches of the government consider this data to be highly sensitive, or different ministries might have different numbers. In the private sector, companies treat data as their secret wealth and keep a lid on it. You have to be working inside the company to get access or sign a nondisclosure agreement. These challenges aren\u2019t specific to data science but to decision makers in general. You could be a minister who wants data from another ministry and you\u2019ll have difficulty obtaining it.<\/p>\n<p><b>There are ethical implications to the job: <\/b>The same data can produce different results, which can lead to very different decisions. This is especially important when the decision-maker is not numerically literate and can\u2019t interrogate the data scientist\u2019s results. Most of the time, different results happen because the data scientist\u2019s methods are grounded in different assumptions. An informed data analyst will understand the assumptions behind the method and make sure first to validate the assumptions before going ahead with the method let alone interpreting results. <b>Some people do use data to try and mislead others<\/b>, so we teach students how to look out for these biases.<\/p>\n<p><b>Is Egypt at a stage where it needs something like the EU general data protection regulations? <\/b>These kinds of things do not usually hurt unless they go overboard. For example, if investors are deciding whether or not to invest in Egypt but the data they need to make that decision is unavailable, this could be a hindrance. On the other hand, if these same investors come and invest, you have to protect their privacy. Legislation is like any tool, you can use it and abuse it, over do it or under do it.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"603463\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"603463\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">5<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/23\/referendum-on-proposed-constitutional-amendments-is-still-all-the-foreign-press-can-talk-about\/\">\r\n                            Referendum on proposed constitutional amendments is still all the foreign press can talk about                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/23\/referendum-on-proposed-constitutional-amendments-is-still-all-the-foreign-press-can-talk-about\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

\u201celectrification, automation, and connectivity,\u201d<\/b> with more and more players racing to reinvent the wheel, Nick Stockton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/future-of-transportation-rivian-auto-tech-boom\/\">writes for Wired<\/a>. Rivian, founded in 2009 in Florida as Mainstream Motors, is attempting to combine elements from both the old and the new. It involves licensing an all-electric engine, dubbed the \u201cskateboard,\u201d to other makers to build cars on top of it, much like Karl Benz did when he successfully fired the world\u2019s first practical vehicle. The latter part, meanwhile, involves using skateboard in-house to access a largely untapped part of the EV industry: luxury pickup trucks.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rivian is but one of many non-traditional players in the EV market: <\/b>Last January, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-autoshow-detroit-electric-exclusive\/exclusive-vw-china-spearhead-300-billion-global-drive-to-electrify-cars-idUSKCN1P40G6\">Reuters predicted<\/a> that companies like VW will invest some USD 300 bn in EV tech over the coming 5-10 years. A significant chunk of this will go into direct partnerships with lesser-known, slightly unorthodox companies that are all-in for future auto industry tech. GM acquired autonomous vehicle company Cruise, Amazon invested USD 700 mn in Rivian, and Alphabet, Apple, Uber, and Cisco all have their \u201ccar-of-the-future\u201d spinoffs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Before you rush to by your electric car thinking you\u2019re helping to save the planet:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cesifo-group.de\/ifoHome\/presse\/Pressemitteilungen\/Pressemitteilungen-Archiv\/2019\/Q2\/pm_20190417_sd08-Elektroautos.html\">A recent publication<\/a> by a trio of experts Germany\u2019s Ifo Institute suggests that electric cars may not be quite as clean a form of transportation as we thought. Taking into account CO2 emitted during the production process, the scientists believe that EV\u2019s may in fact be more polluting than their diesel equivalents, potentially leading to between 11-28% more emissions in the future.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/automotive\/\">automotive<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/environment\/\">environment<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"603467\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"603467\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/23\/our-planet-49-earth-days-later\/\">\r\n                            Our planet: 49 Earth Days later                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/23\/our-planet-49-earth-days-later\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
